Columbia College Chicago reserves the right to change or withdraw courses; to change the fees, rules, and calendar for admission, registration, instruction, and graduation; and to change any of its policies or other provisions listed in the Catalog at any time.
This course introduces composing for acoustic instruments; continues the application of the materials of music and introduces modern techniques and practices in composition; teaches how to build melodic phrases and how to compose two and three-part forms. The final project sets text to music for voice and piano. Works are recorded; the best pieces are performed in a public concert at the end of the semester.
